2. Small peptides can promote the absorption and utilization of minerals, and mainly combine with minerals in the form of complexes to increase mineral absorption.
3. Small peptides can avoid absorption competition between amino acids.
4. Small peptides have physiological regulation. It can promote the development of digestive function of small intestine, promote health and improve its production performance, and promote the digestion and absorption of nutrients by inducing the increase of some enzyme activities in small intestine.
Extended data:
The simplest peptide is a dipeptide consisting of two amino acids with 1 peptide bond. Peptides containing 3, 4 and 5 amino acids are called tripeptide, tetrapeptide and pentapeptide respectively. Straight-bond peptides formed by peptide bonds of 2- 10 amino acids are called oligopeptides or small peptides. A peptide consisting of more than 10- 15 amino acids is called a polypeptide.
There are many combinations of small peptides, because there are as many as 22 kinds of amino acids, and their forms are very diverse, but there are more than 400 kinds of dipeptides, more than 8,000 kinds of tripeptides and more than 60,000 kinds of tetrapeptides. As you can imagine, there are almost unlimited kinds of peptides, up to 65,438+00, and not all kinds of small peptides have the same effect. There are limited kinds of small peptides with the best effect in different animals.
